Junior Cert students faced a tricky proposition with today's Maths Paper 2, according to teachers. Some students may have struggled with the terminology in the paper, while several questions would not have looked out of place on a Leaving Cert paper, teachers said. "Overall Junior Cert Ordinary paper-2 was a challenging paper with some tricky elements and some questions partly recycled from the Higher level paper," he said. The trend continues for variations of questions to be reused across the Junior Cert Higher and Ordinary level papers, which may be a potential disadvantage in some cases for ordinary level students. At Junior Cycle, science is examined at a Common Level, meaning there is no Higher or Ordinary paper.
